The Sims 3 Seasons expansion pack is by far one of the most significant changes to the overall gameplay and appearance of the series with the addition of four seasons and their related weather types and festivals. Aliens from past expansions also make their return with abductions and other questionable acts. Along with a host of new build and buy objects, Create a Sim items, and other various additions, Seasons is one of the more content-rich expansion packs that truly expands the game beyond its foundation.
While Seasons doesn't have many elements in relation to the past Supernatural expansion pack with werewolves and witches, they do share a rather large change to the core Sims 3 gameplay. Fall, winter, spring, and summer each bring with them an assortment of weather types, activities, and seasonal festivals. Nearly all of the weather types have effects on Sims that range from using umbrellas in the rain to bundling up in the new outerwear clothing for colder weather in fall and winter seasons.
Temperature is displayed in a new section of the interface that also includes the number of days left in the current season. Sims can check a computer, newspaper, and television for a weekly forecast of the weather. Weather and temperature can wreak havoc on the unprepared Sims that don't bundle up or ignore the dangers of violent thunderstorms. Sims can now develop colds if they venture outside unprepared for the current weather and temperature conditions. As well, Sims can succumb to being struck by lightning in storms, freezing to death, and heat exhaustion.
Each of the seasons also introduces various activities that range from the ability to create snowmen in the winter to tanning in the summer. Many of these activities contain levels of experience similar to the normal set of skills. Sims will begin as terrible skaters that continually fall to the ground, then progress as experts that race around the rink with the utmost grace. Even additional snowman types are unlocked as Sims create more of them in the winter season. The seasonal-related activities create for a more engaging experience as the gameplay feels more dynamic as new opportunities continually present themselves to players.
The other major addition with the expansion is the distinct festivals that occur in each of the seasons. Season festivals transform a particular park in each world with a variety of activities and objects including skating rinks, kissing stands, photo booths, and tables that host food eating competitions. Participation in activities on the festival lots award Sims with tickets that can be used to redeem seasonal prizes from umbrellas to ice cream treats. Festival lots are often the most populated with Sims going about their routines and participating in various activities. In addition to the seasonal activities, the expansion pack also incorporates special holidays that mirror their real-life counterparts like Halloween and Valentine's Day. New costume and gift-giving parties also join the group of added social activities that relate to the current season.
Instead of including a new neighborhood as with the tradition of past expansion packs, Seasons instead allows players to upgrade any of The Sims 3 worlds from expansion packs or the online store in addition to custom maps created by players with the added features. Players have the ability to completely modify the season and weather settings in any of their saved games. The new customization menu allows players to toggle on and off select seasons in addition to their duration of days. Players can even modify what weather types will appear in their game, ultimately allowing them to select their favorite seasons and weather types and toggle off the ones they would like to avoid.
In the Create a Sim feature, players can now select clothing items for the added category of outerwear that functions as a barrier against the various elements when venturing outside the house. The newly added assortment of outerwear coats, stocking hats, and gloves are perfecting for creating a wide variety of fashion styles from traditional winter wardrobes to modern chic. While the outerwear clothing category doesn't have a function in the warmer seasons, it's especially useful to have around when the cold does set in the Sims world.
Objects added with the expansion pack range from a majority of festival-related items such as skating rinks and concession stands to miscellaneous decoration content for the home lot. Seasons marks the return of aliens to the series that randomly appear around the world with their sleek, science fiction-inspired clothing and hovering spacecraft. Sims have a chance of being abducted and returned to their homes impregnated with alien babies. While aliens can't be selected in Create a Sim mode, they do have the ability to form relationships and eventually join a particular household through marriage. It's unfortunate that aliens weren't included in the Create a Sim mode as the special types of Sims from the previous Supernatural expansion including werewolves and such were able to be used in the creation of new households.
While the addition of seasons and weather do significantly alter the gameplay experience of The Sims 3, the most striking change is the game's visual appearance. From the largest visual improvements such as dynamic snow collection to the minor additions with frosted windows during winter, the expansion pack continually impresses with the attention to detail in each of the seasons and weather types. The Sims 3 base game, without the inclusion of changing seasons and weather, results in a rather drab and stale world. The bold visuals and sound effects of heavy snowfall or thunderstorms instinctively create a notion that staying inside is better than venturing into the world. Details including holiday lights on houses during winter, leaf piles that form in the fall, and sound effects of weather quieted indoors create a far more believable and realistic Sims world.
The addition of seasons, weather types, and other new content in The Sims 3 Seasons result in a more dynamic and engaging gameplay experience. Each of the four seasons include a variety of related festivals and activities that ensure each is distinct and entertaining. The various weather types also function as an important role in gameplay by providing ever-changing temperatures, increased world atmosphere, and a new clothing category of outerwear items to battle any harsh outdoor conditions. In addition, aliens make their return to the series along with a host of new Create a Sim items and objects for the build and buy modes. If all the new content wasn't enough, an impressive visual and audio presentation complete the overall experience. The Sims 3 Seasons is the perfect expansion pack for both longtime fans of the series as well as newcomers looking to expand their base game.
The Sims 3 Seasons is available now for Windows PC and Mac.

Rachael Ray 5 Piece Bakeware Set Review
A creative twist from Rachael Ray. This 5 piece bakeware set is a delight to use with the extra wide handles designed for an easy grasp, even using bulky oven mitts. The silicone grips with a splash of color looks great. Nonstick coating inside and out makes for a long lasting and attractive set. Perfect for all your baking needs. Dishwasher safe and good up to 500F in the oven. Set includes 1 10×15 inch Crispy Sheet, 1 9×13 inch Rectangular Cake Pan 1 9×5 inchLoaf Pan and 2 9 inch Round. A pleasure to use for that next set of brownies or cookies. Another great offering from my favorite cook.

Buying a crib mattress is usually a last-minute afterthought. Let's be honest, it's not as glamorous as the crib's design or as high profile as the car seat - but shouldn't it be? Crib mattresses are an investment in your child's health and development, especially considering your baby will be on it for up to 70 percent of his or her first four years. And to top it off, some of those hand-me-down mattresses might not be safe.
Many longstanding baby products have been rethought and redesigned because they contain chemicals (BPA, PVC, phthalates, etc.) that are now considered dangerous. As of February 10, 2009, the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CSPIA) banned certain varieties of phthalates from crib mattresses (most notably found in standard vinyl coverings) after evidence linked them to endocrine system problems and possibly cancer. And the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) reported that phthalates could cause more damage to babies than adults because their bodies are still developing.
The following mattresses all adhere to the government's new standards, and most go above and beyond, eliminating vinyl coverings altogether. Keep in mind that some of these substitutions require spray treatments to keep them wet and stain-resistant, and other mattresses require a mattress pad to keep odor, dust mites and bacteria from creeping in over time. Use your discretion as to how "natural" you're comfortable with, but have peace of mind that the mattresses in this guide (including the runners up!) are safe choices for your little one. Some might have a higher price tag than the norm, but most have been modified with organic and/or naturally derived products so both you and your baby can sleep better at night.
BEST OVERALL | The Pebble by Nook Sleep Systems
By far the most extravagant but also the most extraordinary crib mattress we've ever encountered, The Pebble won our Best Overall spot with its innovative and well-considered design (also snagging our "Best Design" accolade). Created by a diverse team of scientists, designers, social psychologists and parents, this mattress somehow combines every feature you could possibly want in a mattress – besides affordability, of course.
Focusing on the concept that a breathable, oxygen-rich sleep environment fosters infant development and longer, safer sleep, The Pebble is designed to promote airflow and temperature regulation with 100% non-toxic and natural materials like moisture-wicking eucalyptus, microbe and mold-preventing zinc, temperature-regulating organic cotton, and flame-retardant organic wool. Yes, you'll be paying more than most cribs cost, but The Pebble takes no chemical-littered short cuts when it comes to your baby's health. And although it's known as "the world's most considered infant mattress," toddlers up to 4 years old can continue to reap the benefits.
The mattress itself is of extremely high quality, made out of a dense, breathable, hypoallergenic latex core; and the vibrantly colored coverings are not only water-resistant but designed with soft, raised "pebbles" to increase air circulation and provide sensory development. Bonus: Unlike most organic mattresses, The Pebble requires no additional mattress pad or even sheets, and the cover is machine-washable. However, additional coverings will cost you a whopping $180 each.
Bottom line: If money is no object, there isn't another mattress on the market like this one. Looking for something safe but within your budget? Read on.

3 thoughts on "Best Crib Mattresses for Baby 2010"
Choosing a crib mattress is not an easy task. Consider cost, comfort, and durability, as your child will probably sleep in his crib for up to three years.
This mattress is amazing. We've had it for our son for almost a year. I wanted a mattress without toxic flame retardants and this one is perfect. Non-toxic, durable, comfortable, and stylish!

Liz Coffin-Karlin
Hi all! I'm Liz, the newest virtual intern here at Scholarships.com. I'm from Sarasota, Florida originally, and then moved way up to Chicago to attend college. I picked Northwestern University for a lot of reasons – it was in a whole new part of the country, it had great academics and it had a lot of student involvement – and I wound up with double majors in Spanish and history and a minor in Latin American and Caribbean Studies.
While academics were important to me, I always felt I expressed myself best through student activities. I worked on our newspaper, The Daily Northwestern, for four years, was an executive board member on the Global Engagement Summit and participated in NU's huge Dance Marathon. Along the way, I also volunteered at a Chicago soup kitchen, worked as a lifeguard for our sports center and once even sold hot dogs at a football game to raise money for a student group. (It is COLD in those stands!) I also studied abroad in Buenos Aires, where I fell in love with empanadas, tango music and backpacking in the Andes.
I loved my time at NU but most of all, I loved the connections I made and the friends I met. I took a public service fellowship in Chicago right after graduating from college in 2010 and ran a teen internship program last summer at the Adler Planetarium. When that ended, I felt it was time to use my Spanish skills and after studying abroad in Buenos Aires and then getting a research grant to come back before my senior year, I had the language skills and the connections to get an internship at the Center for Studies on Freedom of Expression and Access to Information.
Now, I'm excited to be with Scholarships.com, where I'll be sharing travel tips, college tips (make sure you set the microwave timer for two minutes not 20 minutes...unless you want to burn your dorm down) and professional tips for getting that internship or job you wanted. Nice to meet you guys – can't wait to start writing!

Wouldn't it be amazing if that super expensive college you were just accepted into said, "Hey there, new friend – thanks for all your hard work saving, scrimping and scholarship searching but we'll take it from here, financially"? It can happen...kind of.
When a student fills out the FAFSA, a figure known as the expected family contribution (EFC) – the amount a student or family can reasonably spend on one year of college – is calculated using family income, number of children, amount of assets and other factors. There is sometimes a gap between the EFC and the final cost of college but 62 schools have reported to U.S. News that, on average, 100 percent of their admitted full-time undergraduate students' financial need was met for fall 2010 by some combination of aid (work-study, merit scholarships, grants, subsidized loans, etc.).
Now, we're not going to list every single college and university that reported these claims (you can check out U.S. News' site for that) but we will say that some well-known schools like Yale, Vanderbilt and Grinnell – the latter of which has never failed to meet full need for a student in 20 years, according to financial aid director Arnold Woods – have made the cut. Way to go and keep up the good work!
February 23, 2012
We've all had at least one teacher that has impacted our lives in a positive way. Whether their passion for the subject they were teaching led you down a new educational path or the skills they imparted are still ones you use today, more educators like that are needed and a newly-funded program may make that possible.
The Obama administration showed its support in increasing teacher effectiveness with a budget proposal for a $5 billion grant competition to reward states and districts in a variety of ways including making teacher education programs as selective as their law, medical and business counterparts. While the Department of Education has not revealed full details about the endeavor known as the RESPECT Program, some colleges fear some of the requirements may actually negate the anticipated outcome: The feeling is that exemplary high school grades and standardized test scores are not the only traits that make great teachers and increased selectivity could exclude many students – adult students looking for career changes or students from disadvantaged backgrounds, for example – who could excel at teaching. "We're in education because we believe that education matters, and that people can grow and learn given the right experiences," Virginia McLaughlin, dean of the School of Education at the College of William and Mary, told Inside Higher Ed. She continued to explain that future teachers should be evaluated regularly and judged on their progress, including how well they master both knowledge of the subjects they will teach and the techniques they will use in the classroom.
Do you think the RESPECT Program will produce better teachers or could it keep some of the most capable would-be educators out of the classroom?

For those of us who cannot afford large out-of-pocket expenses for college, financial aid is our only option. Many, if not all, universities require their students to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid – aka the FAFSA – which uses your family's finances and taxes in order to best determine how much aid you get. It can be confusing but it is definitely worth your time to file the application.
Depending on the state of the school you attend and live in, the FAFSA has different deadlines. States offer different grants and scholarships as long as you qualify and apply by the stated deadline and private schools also have different deadlines for private funding which can be found on their websites. The dates for states can all be found on the print out form on the FAFSA's website. Remember to use this official government website – other sites charge fees.
The FAFSA requires you to have a federal PIN number. To apply for one, request one from the FAFSA website. (Make sure to do this even if you don't have your tax returns, as the PIN number sometimes takes some time to receive.) Also, a new procedure that the FAFSA has is the IRS data retrieval tool, which takes the tax information directly from the IRS database and filters it into the FAFSA. This option not only makes life easier for those filing the FAFSA but it helps college financial aid offices, as they won't require you to turn in additional documents to verify if the information is correct.
Always try to have yours and your parents' tax returns completed as soon as possible to have your FAFSA completed on time; however, since required documents like W-2s and other federal papers often aren't available when you need them, file the FAFSA and select the option "Will File" rather than "Already Completed" for the question asking if you have already filed the tax returns. Use the tax information from the previous year so that you can have it completed by the deadline and once your tax returns are complete, go back into the FAFSA and use the "Make Corrections" option to update the information.
Happy filing, everyone!

It may feel like we've skipped winter but federal aid is about to be put on ice for college hopefuls lacking high school diplomas or GEDs.
As of July 1st, newly-enrolled students will no longer be allowed to take an "ability to benefit" test or complete a set amount of credits without aid; instead, college students will be required to have high school diplomas or GEDs in order to receive federal financial aid. How will these students – many of whom are older, seeking training to find a new job, immigrants and students in states like California where the basic adult education budget has been cut – pay for school? College administrators anticipate they will turn to private loans...or give up on their degrees entirely.
David Baime, vice president for government relations at the American Association of Community Colleges, says the change "runs counter to the missions of many of our colleges," as these schools view enrolling students without high school credentials as a key part of providing access to higher education: There are currently about 836,000 students without high school diplomas or GEDs enrolled at two-year public colleges nationwide and according to a limited 2006-2007 Education Department study, students without high school diplomas and GEDs were ultimately more successful in college and had higher GPAs than their classmates with high school diplomas, even if they failed the "ability to benefit" test. If would-be students have to get a GED before going to college and receive zero financial assistance while they prepare, Baime says many will opt out altogether.
What do you think of the new rule regarding federal aid? Do you think a high school diploma or GED is necessary to succeed in college?

When making your final college choice, would you choose the school touting generous tuition discounts or the institution offering the standard financial aid package? The choice may seem obvious but according to a new study, things aren't always what they seem.
A survey of 400 private institutions conducted by the National Association of College and University Business Officers revealed tuition discounting could be losing its effectiveness as a way of luring students to colleges. Data show that though the rate of institutional discounts in the form of scholarships, grants and fellowships continues to rise – the average is predicted to hit 42.8 percent this year – 45 percent of the schools surveyed saw overall enrollment remain flat or drop and 53.2 percent saw a decline or no change in the number of freshmen they enrolled.
What do you think of the tuition discounting trend? Is it playing a role in your college decision or are other factors (location, reputation, programs of study, etc.) more important to you?
April 20, 2012
Enrollment deposits are due at many colleges around the country in 11 days and while some students committed to colleges within hours of receiving their acceptance letters, others are still weighing their higher ed options. As the deadline draws closer, don't choose a college by tossing a dart at a map or playing eeny meeny with your admissions offers – consider these tips from U.S. News:
Plan another visit. Sure you went on the traditional tour last time you visited Big State U or Fancy Private College but this time, skip the campus-sponsored activities to get the true experience of what it's like to attend that particular school.
Contact former classmates. If you know a few students who matriculated to the school you're considering, get in touch with them. It's never been easier to do via the myriad social networking sites out there and they'll provide insight you won't find in the brochures!
Don't forget costs. You may have been accepted to your first-choice school but you didn't receive the grants, scholarships and merit-based aid you were hoping for. Minimize the amount of debt you'll accrue from taking out hefty student loans by reconsidering your second- or third-choice school...and its more-than-generous financial aid package.
You can read the rest of U.S. News' tips here but we're curious as to how our readers made their college decisions. Did you employ any of the strategies listed above? Are you still trying to choose your school? Let us know what worked for you!
April 24, 2012
Many students think they know what it takes to get into the college of their choice but with record-low admissions rates, insufficient financial aid and increasing student loan debt, the path to higher education is not as clear-cut as it once was. Good grades and high standardized test scores aren't enough anymore – the incoming freshman class at Berkeley, for example, includes an expert Ping-Pong player, an Irish dancer and a figure skater, as well as a TV star and a champion roller skater – but what if you don't have the access to even that kind of basic information? The filmmakers behind "First Generation" hope to explain just that.
Adam and Jaye Fenderson's first feature film follows four students – an inner city athlete, a small town waitress, a Samoan warrior dancer and the daughter of migrant field workers – through as they apply to college and attempt to be the first members of their families to attend college. "First Generation" explores how, despite these students all possessing valuable attributes inside and outside of the classroom, the absence of college graduates in a family can result in a lack of financial support and a shortage of knowledge about the college admissions process as a whole.
Check out the trailer here when you have a minute and let us know what you think. If you are or will be a first generation college student, could you relate to the individuals featured? Do you think "First Generation" should be viewed by all students applying to college? Weigh in in the comments section!

Cost plays a huge role in many students' college choices. Depending on their financial situation, some students dismiss the schools with high tuition in favor of lower-cost in-state schools because they think it will save them money. In actuality, they could be doing themselves an economic disservice in the long run.
Using data from U.S. News and World Report's most recent student debt survey of 25 top-ranking public and private schools, Reuters revealed that, on average, 53 percent of students surveyed received financial aid and at least half of students at most of the institutions graduated debt-free...but it depends on what school they attended: Princeton graduates, for example, owed only $5,000 at commencement while University of Michigan graduates owed more than $27,000 despite Michigan's in-state costs being less than half of Princeton's. How is this possible? Numerous schools including Princeton, Caltech, Davidson College and the University of Washington have eliminated student loans from their financial aid packages and others like Harvard, Stanford and UC Berkeley have capped contributions for students from low- and middle-income families. (Check out the entire article here, including this handy infographic.)
While it is difficult for many students to attend college without taking out some kind of loan – especially those attending state-run institutions which don't have the fiscal means to eliminate debt – it is possible to avoid debt if you choose the right school. Thoughts?
June 6, 2012
With student loan debt now totaling more than $1 trillion, current and would-be college students need access to financial aid information more than ever before. The good news is that universities across the country are doing their best to make the facts as clear and available as possible in the near future.
Ten schools – Arizona State, Miami Dade College, North Carolina A&T State University, Syracuse, UNC Chapel Hill, Vassar and the state university systems in Maryland, Massachusetts, New York and Texas – have committed to providing key funding information to all incoming students as part of their financial aid packages starting in the 2013-14 school year. The details will include the cost of one year of college, financial aid options such as grants and scholarships, estimated monthly payments after graduation on federal student loans and comparative data about graduation and loan repayment rates. According to the White House, this disclosure will play a vital role in making college more affordable for all students: "Too often, students and families face confusion when comparing financial aid packages, some of which do not clearly differentiate loans from grants, nor distinguish private vs. federal loans, making it difficult to compare aid offers side-by-side. Clarity and accessibility of information is necessary so that students and families can make informed decisions about where to attend college, so they can choose a school that is best suited to their financial and educational goals."
What do you think of this plan? Do you think it will help students better understand financial aid or is the effort too little and too late?

text: DP stands for "Downtown Philly," and a DP cheesesteak is on par with the best that The City of Brotherly Love has to offer. What makes DP's Utah's cheesesteak champ? First, a DP cheesesteak starts out with sliced-to-order rib-eye steak, just like the big boys. Second, you can get a DP cheesesteak slathered with Cheez Whiz (there's also American or Provolone for wimps), just like you would in Philly. Third is the bread. It's true, there's no substitute for the Amoroso rolls used for cheesesteaks in Philly. However, the Stoneground Bakery rolls used at DP Cheesesteaks are awfully good�a bit denser and more rustic than Amoroso's, but excellent nonetheless. And DP stuffs those rolls to the hilt with perfectly grilled and chopped steak. If you've ever had a Jim's cheesesteak from Philly's South Street and loved it, then you're also gonna love DP's.

Practical use of photo mounting board.
What Is a Photo Mounting Board?
Mounting photos, prints and documents preserve the pieces and add beauty. Photo mounting board can set off the work, drawing attention towards a particular element of the piece. In fact, many people use photo mounting boards as an extension of the art work itself. Since they are typically thin, about 3/16," they are easily altered to further decorative features. They can be cut in stacks to produce double or even triple matting. Photo Mounting Boards come in a variety of materials and weights.
Four Popular Material Options for Photo Mounting Boards
- Foam Core: This photo mounting option consists of a thin piece of foam sandwiched between two smooth sheets of paper. Foam core mounting boards are a popular choice for matting photos.
- Gator Board: Gator Board is not different from the foam-core board because it is rigid foam which is sandwiched between some smooth sheets of paper. The thickness is 3/16", and it is lightweight. Its rigid surface makes it a popular photo mounting board.
- Mat Board: Mat board comes in different colors and textures, making it a popular choice for enhancing artwork and documents. Because of its rigidity and interesting surface texture, it is widely used for pencil, charcoal and chalk pieces.
- Styrene Photo Mounting Board: This is a thin plastic mounting board that is 2 mm thick.
Several Ways to Use Photo Mounting Boards
- Classic Tape Method: in this method, the first thing is that the board is laid flat. The document or photo is positioned; once the piece is centered, paperweights are used to keep the image held in that position. A tape that does not have acid should be applied – 2 vertical ones for the right and left margins and two horizontal pieces for the bottom and top margins.
- Photo Corners Backed With Adhesive: This is a permanent acid-free adhesive that is made of Mylar. It is used in making them, and one thing is that it will not touch the art work or photo; put a photo corner on each of the corners of the piece, and the self-adhesive backed photo corners should be attached to the mounting board. This is the method museums use.
- Dry Picture Mounting: After laying the mounting board on the flat surface, dry mounting adhesive tissue should be put between the piece and the mounting board. Then apply pressure and high heat. The image is permanently attached to the board: the process is not reversible.
- Wet Mounting: With this method, once the board is placed on a flat surface, wet glue should be pasted on the mounting board. Immediately position photos. Even pressure should be applied throughout the board with the use of a big glass. Let dry for 8-24 hours.
- Spray Mounting Technique: Again, the process starts by laying the board on a flat surface. Then, place the document or photo upside-down. Evenly spray adhesive onto the document or photo. Position the photo, document or work of art, and start smoothing from the center to the edges of the photo/document.
Why You Need a Photo Mounting Board
Photo mounting boards enhance beautiful prints and documents; they can complement the piece. There are several methods and materials to consider when choosing a photo mounting board—these will depend on factors such as cost, convenience and equipment availability. Take the time to choose the methods and materials that are right for you. You will soon have a beautiful display.

REI's Half Dome 2 Plus Tent was selected as an Outside magazine "2010 Gear of the Year" award recipient, the magazine's top honor. Each year, Outside's editors award products they deem to be the very best in outdoor adventure gear for design and value.
"This tent has one of the best architectural designs and price-points we've seen for a while," said Sam Moulton, Outside gear editor. "We thought it was the best overall package in all of the tent categories we tested, and we were especially impressed with its strength."
REI's new Half Dome tent series "Plus" version was designed with an extended floor plan that adds 10 inches of additional length and four inches of additional width to the standard new Half Dome 2. The tent's expanded/extra room allows for added comfort for taller outdoor enthusiasts, for gear, or even the family pet. The strong, lightweight, weather-worthy backpacking tent maximizes livability, entry/exit access and storage space.
"Winning an Outside 'Gear of the Year' award is a great honor for REI," says Lee Fromson, vice president of REI Gear & Apparel. "This tent series continues to win industry accolades which validate our team's commitment to offering our customers innovation, quality and value."
The Half Dome's predecessor, the award-winning Half Dome 2HC, a best-seller for almost a decade, was redesigned in 2010. The updated design adds strength and additional living space for the same price. REI's Half Dome series tents are available in stores and through www.rei.com. Pricing starts at $179 and is available in three styles (two-person; two-person plus and four-person).
Outside's editors spend more than six months field-testing thousands of outdoor products and select only the top "killer values" – product providing great performance and design for the price – for their biannual buyers guides. REI's Half Dome 2 Plus tent is featured in the current issue of Outside's Spring/Summer Buyer's Guide, available on newsstands from May 4 – Oct. 5.

The Transit Connect will be replaced by an all-new vehicle next year. Consequently, it receives no changes of substance for 2013...more
The Transit Connect is a purpose-built vehicle aimed at small-business owners, but its appeal goes beyond that of just a commercial vehicle. Offering 130 cubic feet of cargo volume accessed by wide-opening rear doors, the Transit Connect is easy to load because of its low floor and high roof. Available as a two-seat cargo van or a four- or five-seat wagon with a fold-down second row, the Transit Connect is a versatile vehicle that can be adapted to several commercial uses. The 136-hp four-cylinder is matched to a four-speed automatic and prizes fuel economy over performance. Options include Crew Chief, an onboard device that tracks location, fuel economy, and idle time, plus vehicle diagnostics and maintenance capabilities. Although the Transit Connect is primarily used as a commercial vehicle, an XLT wagon with seating for five is available. It is a good option for people who want to haul people and yet still need the versatility and cargo capacity of a van. A limited-production Transit Connect Electric is available only to fleet customers. Look for an all-new Transit Connect next year. It will likely ride on the same platform that underpins the global Escape and Focus models. It will still use four-cylinder power, but the current engine will likely go away, to be replaced by a 1.6-liter EcoBoost and a 2.5-liter normally aspirated unit.
Front and side air bags, ABS, traction and stability control, and a tire-pressure monitoring system are standard.

text: Are You at Risk for Depression?Some people are more at risk for developing depression than others. Here's what you need to know, along with warning signs to look for.By Wyatt Myers Medically reviewed by Pat F. Bass III, MD, MPH Depression is not a condition to be taken lightly. Depression affects more than 20 million Americans and the countless friends, family, and other loved ones who support them. Knowing depression risk factors can alert you to circumstances that might make you more likely to develop the illness or help you better understand the disease if you're going through it. Depression Risk Factors: Genetics and Environment Of all the depression risk factors, one of the greatest is genetics, said Donald P. Hall, MD, a psychiatrist and author of Breaking Through Depression. "Genetic risks inherited from parents account for 50 percent of the risk for developing depression," Dr. Hall said. "If one of your parents suffered with depressive illness, your risk of depression doubles." "The other 50 percent of risk for depression comes from environmental stress," added Dr. Hall. "The most common stressful event leading to depression and suicide is the break-up of a loving relationship. Other stressful events include the death of a child, loss of a job, or divorce." Gender as a Depression Risk Factor Your gender may play a role in your depression risk, too, as women seem more likely to be affected than men. "The risk for developing depression at some point in our lifetimes is 10 percent for men and 20 percent for women," said Hall. "Two out of 10 women you know will develop clinical depression at some point in their lives." Hall also believed that, in general, women are more sensitive than men when relationship problems occur. "Social bonding and maternal instincts lead women to value intimate relationships more deeply than men. When their children experience hardships or relationships end, women tend to feel the loss more acutely than men. These stressful experiences can trigger the 'chemical cascade' and lead to depression." Linda Carman Copel, PhD, a psychotherapist and professor at Villanova University in Philadelphia, Pa., saw another reason why women are depressed more frequently than men. "Depression occurs in both genders, but men delay seeking treatment," Copel said. "Often in my practice, men wait and are likely to self-medicate with alcohol; become angry, aggressive, and even violent to people and to things in their environment; engage in distracting behavior; or become involved in high-risk, reckless behaviors until the behavior no longer works for them." Depression and Ethnic Background Some studies suggest that your ethnic background may also play a role in depression, but the jury is still out on this. "The data regarding the prevalence of depression by race or ethnicity in the United States are contradictory," said Simon Rego, PsyD, an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. "Some studies suggest that certain minority groups like African-Americans have higher rates of depression, while other studies suggest that the rates are about the same." The reason that some racial groups may have higher rates of depression than others might be related more to sociology than their ethnic background, said Rego. "Some experts suggest that instead of race or ethnicity per se, a more important determining factor is one that is unfortunately often tied to race: poverty." Rego added that this is often due to the additional stresses faced by those with financial problems. David Sack, MD, CEO of Promises Treatment Centers in California and author of more than 50 journal articles on depression, added one other critical risk factor for depression: "Abuse of drugs and alcohol increases the risks of becoming depressed," Dr. Sack said. "This is probably due to the changes in brain chemistry that drugs of abuse cause, as well as the myriad of social, occupational, and interpersonal problems that occur when someone becomes addicted." If you feel that you are at risk of depression or are already depressed, don't wait to get help. Talk with your doctor and discuss possible courses of treatment to address your condition.

A Boston-area pit bull is doing her part to defy stereotypes surrounding the breed. Lilly, an eight-year-old therapy dog, is recovering after getting hit by a train while saving her owner's life.
David Lanteigne, who rescued Lilly three years ago to work with his mother, told WHDH, "(My mom) had fallen on the tracks. And from one of the witnesses said as the train was drawing near, he saw the dog pulling my mom off the track."
Related: 5 Amazing Stories Of Hero Dogs
Although Lilly successfully dragged her master out of harm's way, she was unable to get off the tracks before the train hurtled in their direction. Doctors had to amputate her right front leg and reconstruct her fractured pelvis, but they say she is recovering well and should be back in action soon.
Related: Hero Dog Inspires Shelter To Allow Pets
Lanteigne addressed the misconceptions surrounding pit bulls, explaining, "We found her and we rescued her and you know what? She went out stayed loyal. She's an amazing dog. She felt like she wanted to do something -- the ultimate sacrifice to give back and thank God she's still here with us."

DAHLONEGA, Ga. – The University of North Georgia baseball team jumped out to an early 2-0 lead Sunday afternoon. However, the Shorter University Hawks were able to use a late-game rally to extend the game into an extra inning where the Hawks scored two runs to claim a 4-2 win.
Jesse Strickland and Tremayne Toorie scored in the bottom of the first for the Saints (1-8) after starting pitcher Jacob Beauchamp retired the last two batters he faced in the inning with a pair of strikeouts.
That would prove to be the only scoring to occur early as the game then progressed scoreless through the next six innings with both teams' defenses stepping up. The two teams combined to leave 18 runners stranded on the bases.
In the top of the eighth inning, Shorter (1-9) was able to start its rally when Willie Lewis scored off a single to left-center field by Jesse Gavigan. The Hawks then added another run in the next inning when Dustin Evans scored off a single by Lewis, tying the score.
Stuart Charleston pitched all 10 innings for Shorter to claim his first win of the season and, along with his defense, managed to retire the last six batters while the offense scored two final runs in the 10th frame. Charleston struck out 10 batters and didn't surrender a walk while Chris Cobb was saddled with the loss for North Georgia in just one inning of work.
North Georgia will next welcome Pfeiffer University to Bob Stein Stadium for a three-game, weekend series. The Saints and Falcons will start things off on Friday, Feb. 22 with first pitch scheduled for 5:00 p.m. The two will then continue their rivalry on Saturday with a 3:00 p.m. first pitch before closing out the series at high noon on Sunday, Feb. 24.

A video tribute to the Ultimate Warrior, whose death last week rocked the wrestling world, that WWE aired on Monday Night Raw this week.
April 16, 2014
Since there was still a buzz surrounding the professional wrestling industry, many had expected viewership for Monday Night Raw to increase this week because the company was doing a tribute to the Ultimate Warrior, who died last week. WWE was disappointed to learn that fewer people tuned in this week than for the episode after Wrestlemania 30.
April 16, 2014
While there were talks about building a stable around Dolph Ziggler and Miz, two performers who have not been pushed as much as they used to be lately, those discussions have grown a bit dormant as of late. WWE has been focused on bringing up the developmental wrestlers from WWE NXT, and they have been occupied with the tribute show for Ultimate Warrior.

April 13, 2014
As expected, WWE is turning the next episode of Monday Night Raw into a three hour tribute to the Ultimate Warrior, who died earlier this week. Aside from showing clips of his greatest moments in WWE, several of the performers are going to be allowed to do their own tribute to the former world heavyweight champion. There are also rumors that former wrestlers are being called in for the event as well.
April 11, 2014
Since he was quite well known during his prime, the Ultimate Warrior has a special place in the heart of many people. Upon hearing about his death, millions of people were saddened. At various sporting events, including MLB and NHL games, the Ultimate Warrior theme song was played as a tribute to the fall WWE legend.
April 11, 2014
At Wrestlemania 30, Daniel Bryan wore a pair of furry boats for his matches against Triple H, Randy Orton and Batista that evening. He revealed through WWE.com that the boats were a tribute to Bruiser Brody, a performer from the 1980s that he greatly admires. Interestingly enough, Brody himself also sported a memorable beard in the ring.
April 9, 2014
Since the company is around the clock nowadays, WWE had a camera crew following the Ultimate Warrior around during the entire Wrestlemania 30 week, which included his long awaited induction into the WWE Hall of Fame. The belief is that management still wants to put together a special tribute to the week after his untimely death on Tuesday.
April 9, 2014
A picture of developmental diva Sasha Banks performing the 619, a move popularized by Rey Mysterio in WWE. The belief is that she is simply doing it as a tribute, as she certainly would not be allowed to perform the trademark spot on the main roster. Officials are high on Banks, but she is not yet ready to make the jump up from WWE NXT just yet.
March 26, 2014
In a rather interesting bit of news, WWE did a live event in Long Island this weekend, and they purposely opted not to use Zack Ryder, the hometown hero. In what could be a show of defiance towards management, Dolph Ziggler did an in ring tribute to Zack Ryder during his match by doing a couple of his Ryder's signature moves.
March 24, 2014

To generate even further heat, Rockstar Spud will be hosting a special tribute segment to Dixie Carter on Impact Wrestling this week. The story line is that she has lost control of her company to MVP, whose team was victorious at TNA Lockdown 2014 thanks to the help of Bully Ray, who pulled off a surprising face turn that evening.
March 13, 2014
On Monday Night Raw, fans saw Jerry Lawler wearing quite an interesting shirt, and the discussions have continued throughout the week about it. Apparently, it was a tribute to Elvis Presley, and the shirts can be purchased online. Vince McMahon was said to have absolutely hated the shirt and thought about asking Lawler to remove it.
March 13, 2014
After winning the WWE tag team championship from Billy Gunn and Road Dogg, the Usos decided to pay tribute to their fallen uncle. Through Twitter, Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso posted this special message and picture about Umaga, who is the younger brother of their father Rikishi.
March 5, 2014
During the start of the latest episode of WWE Main Event, there was a quick mention about the death of Big Daddy V.
